Kathleen Walker

Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (M.A., CCC-SLP)

Accepts 36 insurance plans

Hi! I’m Kathleen. I became a speech-language pathologist to help children with communication delays. I have completed extensive continuing education in language, supervision, articulation, fluency, and pragmatics. I am also trained in the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) and participated in a two-year Los Angeles Autism Conference.

My clinical experience spans diverse settings, including schools, clinics, and private practice. I approach therapy with a client-centered, functional, and highly individualized style. I incorporate sensory-integration-informed practices to support meaningful carryover, and I prioritize family involvement and client empowerment to help each person build confidence, independence, and lifelong self-advocacy skills.

New SLP Kathleen Walker was very attentive to my son.  She kept him on task and encouraged him to use his words at all times.  She will be a great addition to his speech team.
